THE FLAG BLUNDER.

The attempt to withdraw the public
gaze from the President in this flag matter
and to hide Mr. Cleveland behind General
Drum, has failed. General Drum declares
that the idea" originated with the Adj
ministration. And the proof of this is
the intensity of Cabinet officers defense
of Mr.. Cleveland, and the hot panegyric
he pronounces upon his bravery Bravery,
forsooth; in what? In stripping the
national departments of the trophies bear
ing witness to the heroism of Union SOL
diers? Why was that act one of bravery?
Bravery is evinced only when it confronts
danger; when it meets and overcomes, or
attempts to overcome. Now, what had
Mr.. Cleveland in contemplation that he
must meet and overcome when he resolved
to restore the flags? Obviously only the
Union veterans. All this, upon the
hypothesis that Cabinet officer has de-
clared the act to be brave for the truth
probably is, Mr.. Cleveland did not dream
that the Indignation of the old soldiers
would be reused as it has been. Having
served by substitute only, he cannot be
expected to enter into the spirit of the
soldier who has fought for his country, or
as one who has smelled powder and
faced bullets. Probably Mr.. Cleveland
really thought that to return the flags
would tend to heal old wounds much
may be conceded; at the same time it is
to write him down fool-which he is not,
but shrewd man of force of char
acter = to say that he did
not know the act would
popularize him in Southern eyes, If he
has the ordinary ambition of man, he
knew it would help him in that section in
any future call he might make upon the
public confidence
The error Mr.. Cleveland made was In
overlooking the fact that trophies are not
kept asmementoes of ill-will, or of hatred, or
in the spirit of triumph, nor to humiliate

and patriotic devotion. They are pages in
history; the worlds national galleries are
full of such, and are viewed by the de-
scendants of contestants, without any Bit
terness of feeling. 1t is because of the
recollections that cluster about all relics of
the war, that a sentiment is built about
them which it is all but sacriligeous to of
fend. The Union veterans, in opposing the
return of the flags to the Confederates do
not do so because of any unworthiness of
the Southeran veterans; but because the
nation is the better custodian of the SOL
diers' trophies, and because deprivation of
the Government of the custody. of tro-
phies honorably won, would bear an inter-
probation in years to come not conducive
to respect for the patriotism of the men
aghorsaFed the nation in the hesr of its
direst peril. But the President has re-
voked his order; he has received the de-
served rebuke of the veterans, and along
with his unwise action he will drop out of
sight when his term is ended.

a Liberal Offer Declined.

A syndicate of Woodland business mer
recently made the Trustees of Hesperian
College an offer to purchase the college
property, paying therefor the sum of $50,
| 600, which was as much as has been asked
for it, and also Offering to give four acres
of the Beamer tract as site for a new col
lege building, allowing the college Trustees
the use of the old property until January
1, 1888. The scheme of the syndicate,
which represented the principal capital of
the town, was to divide up the remaining
Beamer tract, after taking out the college
block, into lots, open up the streets and in
troduce other measures to create ''boom. :"
The old college block was to be divided up
into lots after making streets and alley
ways through the plat. Another scheme
contemplated by the would be purchasers
was to run street railway through Main
street to the new college grounds, and it is
said that other movements to boom the
town were under contemplation. For some
reason, however, eight of the fifteen col
lege Trustees voted against accepting the
offer, much to the Indignation of the
greater portion of the residents of the
town.

SAYS the San Francisco Alta: "All the
candidates on both tickets of the cam.
paign of 1876 are dead except r. B
Hayes. This is a hard blow at the theory
of the Survival of the Fittest." 1t is very
funny, very, to sneer at Mr.. Hayes. He
really did do nothing dishonorable Oh
vicious while in Office and being thus
unsensationar appears to have won Demo
cratic contempt-which is to his credit
But jeff Davis still lives, to be wept over
and gushed over at the South, and to gush
over in turn whenever occasion offers the
excuse to trot out the lost cause, Yes,
Davis lives, and this as hard blow at the
theory of the survival of the fttest.

GENERAL FAIRcHILD asks what the
loyal Governors of Southern States would
do with the rebel flags that Mr.. Cleve-
land wants returned? They cannot hunt
up old rebel Governors and turn them over
to them There is no Confederate Govern
ment to receive and care for them, nor can
the layal States of the South treat the
matter as if there ever had been Con-
federate Government. Thanks to the pro-
test Of such men as General Fairchild, the
Governors are to be spared trouble-the
order has been rescinded and the flags will

These are a very fey of the phases of

may well be doubted. The past gives no
warrant for belief that there will come

of savagery, for it does not progress, and it
requires its apostles to do homage at its
shrines for no reason other than that the
arbitrary dictates of remorseless master
will have it so. The savage endures pain
and discomfort of the seyerest character
in order to "adorn" himself according to
his rank or the customs of his tribe The

Commission decided upon maximum and minimum

Company Is pected 20 operate the extensions Their

total mileage Of the entire lines Of the company, and
the purpose l. to tax the company five per cent upon
the $50 miles embraced in the nry purchase or about
